Artistic Philosophy

Jackson Pollock's Artistic Philosophy is one like no other. He has a very unique way of thinkig and painting. He centers the basis of his ideas on the concepts and ideas of surrealism. His works are mostly non-representational. Pollock painted from how he felt on the inside. He painted his canvases on the floor because he enjoyed getting close to his work and being able to work all around and stand in the painting. Pollock believed that the modern artist was working with space and time and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating. He also said that when he was painting he was not aware of what he is doing. It's only after a "get acquainted" period that he  saw what he'd been about.

"Every good painter paints what he is ".
